Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Frumin is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. He takes the time to explain procedures and anything related to your heart health. He is very patient and has a calming demeanor. I know that I am in good hands with his expertise.

Dr. Frumin clearly explained my ablation procedure with a diagram of the heart before the procedure and images of my heart on his phone after. The whole experience of my ablation was great, from his office staff to his associate Dr. Shah to Dr. Frumin to the facilities and staff at Saddleback Memorial Hospital.

Dr. Howard Frumin a cardiologist who specialty is electricity within the heart did a great work as my surgeon. Dr. Frumin spoke with me explaining to me with a diagram of the heart what he suspected the event that was taking place. He performed his own tests and used the information from my other physicians. To identify what was happening to my heart. He was patient and explained to me the choices in treatment options available for this condition. We discussed many of the concerns I had and he

While temporarily residing in this Orange County, California area, I was hospitalized twice and fortunate enough to be cared for by Dr. Frumin and other members of his cardiology group. I had excellent care with very quick responses to both my phone calls and appointment needs. Also an appointment with Dr. Frumin was very informative since he takes time to fully explain to you your condition and possible solutions. I highly recommend Dr Howard Frumin and the South Orange County Cardiology Group

I took my mother to Dr Frumin as a second opinion regarding her a FIB. I appreciated the education around the disease and logical next steps. I plan to follow up with him vs our initial heart consultation.

Dr Frumins office staff, Alex et al, continually make mistakes, tell lies, promise to call you back but don't and never apologize for any of it. The manager Tara just talks over you when you try to explain the problems, will blame you for getting frustrated and displays an attitude of zero empathy or compassion for patients. Dr Frumin on the other hand seems to have his patients interest at heart but you might have to push to get tests done. Decisions seem to be made based on the almighty $$.

I have been a patient of Dr Frumin for many years. He has taken great care of me so far so I am scheduling my cryoablation surgery in the next few weeks. I am fully confident in his ability and knowledge to take care and fix my a fib.

Very nice MD. He took the time to carefully and completely explain what was going on and my options. He explained I should have a few extra tests. When I asked if we could do it now, he got up and worked it out with his staff to get me in right then. Special Note about the Radiologist, she was terrific.
